[cups.general] Ricoh 2035e and windows

[Jeff (Jeffrey) Garner]

Another multi-function copier issue.

Ubuntu jaunty, Cups version 1.3.9, gutenprint 5.2.3

I am attempting to use the Ricoh-Aficio_2035e-pxlmono-Ricoh.ppd driver.  The
server interface shows that driver as the one that is installed.  However
when I install the printer on to a Windows machine, it does not show the
proper paper sizes.  I am looking for 11x17, but the windows ppd file is
something completely different, stating that the driver that is being used
is from path:
/usr/share/ppd/gutenprint/5.2/C/ppd/stp-ricoh-afc_2035e.5.2.ppd

This file is NOT on my server system, and to make matters even more
confusing, that path does not exist on the server, there is no gutenprint
directory under /usr/share/ppd

I need to get the ppd file I installed on the server to install on the
windows clients.  Server side though both the CUPS and Webmin interfaces I
see tha tproper attributes for the printer, including the 11x17 paper size.
However these are not the attributes being passed to the Windows clients
from the server.  Is gutenprint to blame for this and should I uninstall it
and run solely on CUPS?

*FWIW, I am not the original admin of this box, someone else did the
install, so I cannot answer any questions dealing with why was this or that
installed instead of something else.
